That, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what we call SWING! Absolutely brilliant, bubbly, bouncy playing by all involved. I wish the younger crowd would follow their example. I hear a lot of amazing virtuosity out of the new generation, but little in the way of soul, swing & heart. I hope someday they get it…
